The Motown Invasion

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

2/2. Adam White rewinds to the spring of 1965 to recall Tamla-Motown's star-studded 21-day
UK Tour, which coincided with the label's official British launch despite having already conquered the charts here in 1964 with smash hits by the Supremes and Mary Wells on its Stateside label. This edition recalls the Ready, Steady Go! TV special hosted by Motown crusader Dusty Springfield, and features recollections of the tour by Mary Wilson (the Supremes), Otis Williams (the Temptations) and Pete Moore (the Miracles). Plus several previously unaired performances from the tour.
